Default Glassy after-taste

Hello,
I'm curious to know if anyone hails familiar with a glassy aftertaste when using extract? My beer has only been in the bottle for three weeks. It tastes great other than a distinct glassy taste when finished. Can any one tell me what the cases if this could be?

Glassy? Can you use another flavor descriptor? To me, glass is completely flavorless.

It's a hard taste to describe! Kind of like a little Electrical Film left on the tongue .

How did you clean/sanitize your bottles? Was the flavor there before you bottled or just after?

More info is needed, but it sounds like residue left over from the bottle cleaning process. Never use any household dish detergents. I might be jumping the gun and assuming that is what occurred. If so, contact you LHB store to get a no rinse cleaner to use before sterilizing.
